Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Seeing that Long Haoyu had put away Wufeng, Han Yu straightened up again after squatting down slightly to gather his strength.

The tall man, standing at 1.9 meters, was a bit taller than Long Haoyu. Looking at Long Haoyu's face, which was even more youthful than his own, and at the sincere look in Long Haoyu's eyes, he felt a sense of peace and wonder.

"Understood!"

Han Yu let out a heavy sigh and looked at Han Qian on the referee's table: "Referee, I lost!"

"The competition is over, contestant number five is the winner!"

Han Qian's deep voice rang out, signaling that Long Haoyu and Han Yu could leave the training ground.

Before leaving, Han Yu raised his fist in a gesture of respect, and then bumped fists with Long Haoyu's: "Brother Haoyu, I will continue to challenge you in the future!"

"But the challenges to come will no longer be challenges fueled by arrogance. I will prove with my actions that my fighting spirit, Han Yu's spirit, will not be extinguished!"

Long Haoyu smiled slightly, watched Han Yu return to the rest area, then carried Wufeng back on his back and headed straight back in the direction of Ye Hua and the others.

"Haoyu, are you alright?" Ye Hua asked, surprised by Long Haoyu's performance as he came down from the field.

The Evil Eye Lord's attack was on a mental level; he never expected Long Haoyu to break free so quickly.

Even in a match between two fifth-tier knights, he ended the match cleanly and decisively with just the second move. This is an absolute crushing victory in terms of raw strength!

Li Xin remained silent, but the look in her eyes was exactly the same as Ye Hua's. Even with Long Haochen's warning, she still couldn't believe it.

Long Haochen was much calmer. When he saw Long Haoyu return, he happily said, "Brother, congratulations on your first victory!"

Long Haoyu smiled at the three of them before explaining, "Teachers, you don't need to worry. The Evil Eye Lord's attack did have some effect on me, but it's not to the point that I still have side effects."

"Moreover, what I said to Brother Han Yu in the training ground just now was all true. Countless near-death experiences have made my spirit less easily affected."

Ye Hua relaxed and watched as Long Haoyu put Wufeng back on his back. He continued, "By the way, Haoyu, was the move you used in your second move a self-created Punishment Knight skill that you've developed over the years?"

"Yes, teacher, that move just now was called Demon Slayer Form 1. It was the first move in the Demon Slayer system of Retribution Knight skills that I created for myself."

Long Haoyu replied, "Because I haven't had many opportunities for real combat before, I haven't been able to use this move, so I didn't tell you, teacher, right away."

Ye Hua's pupils contracted, but before he could react with surprise, Long Haochen quietly added, "Teacher, this move of yours was created by your brother before he came to the Haoyue Branch Hall."

"Without a real opportunity, my brother probably just forgot about it. It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to hide it from you, teacher."

Ye Hua gasped. Long Haochen's explanation only made things worse, as it caused Ye Hua's shock to surge uncontrollably.

When they arrived at the Haoyue Branch Hall, the two Long brothers, Haoyu and Haoyu, were only eleven or twelve years old. Other attendant knights or prospective knights of the same age were still diligently cultivating.

Long Haoyu, on the other hand, had already created his own Retribution Knight skill system back then, and with such powerful moves, he was terrifyingly talented!

The knights in the surrounding stands overheard the conversation between the master and his apprentice and turned to look. They didn't know Long Haoyu's age at the time, but to be able to create his own Punishment Knight skill at the fifth-tier strength level was definitely a prodigy among prodigies, enough to make them take notice.

Ye Hua slowly came to his senses, and without saying another word, he excitedly patted Long Haoyu's shoulder hard.

Good disciple, a good disciple indeed!

Long Haoyu sensed Ye Hua's intense emotions and understood perfectly why Ye Hua was acting this way.

Sharing in Ye Hua's emotions, he looked towards one direction in the audience.

There sat a knight dressed in black, and from the moment he stepped onto the field, he felt that the other man was watching him.

Now, the other party's gaze towards him had become even sharper. It was none other than Yang Wenzhao, the grandson of the Alliance Leader, Yang Haohan, a fifth-tier Punishment Knight.

He remembered that Long Haochen had been stared at like that before, and now that Long Haochen was not participating in the competition, he had become the one being stared at.

Yang Wenzhao looked at Long Haoyu from a distance, and after a moment his lips parted slightly, conveying a silent message: "I'm waiting for you to fight!"

Long Haoyu showed no stage fright whatsoever. Meeting Yang Wenzhao's gaze, his lips parted slightly: "Yes, very soon!"

PS: There was a problem with Han Yu's knight branch in Chapter 130. I remember in the original work, after the Demon Hunter Team was formed, Han Qian instructed Han Yu to focus on Guardian. I got it wrong and thought Han Yu was originally a Retribution Knight. Also, in the original work, Han Yu used the fifth-tier knight skill Assault. This has been corrected; Han Yu is a Guardian Knight.

Chapter 133 Ye Hua's Expectations, the Nemesis of Backlash

"Haoyu, what's wrong?"

Ye Hua noticed Long Haoyu's unusual behavior and asked him with concern.

Long Haoyu withdrew his gaze from Yang Wenzhao and smiled slightly: "It's alright, teacher. I just saw a very good opponent."

Ye Hua seemed to be deep in thought. Following Long Haoyu's gaze, he looked in the direction of Yang Wenzhao and pondered for a moment before saying, "So it was him. Is it because of your match with Han Yu that he's so eager to fight you too?"

"Probably," Long Haoyu replied vaguely.

Ye Hua was not surprised: "I know his number; he is our Knights Temple's number one contestant this time."

"I learned from other people that in the predicted rankings of this competition, this number one player will definitely be among the top three. He will indeed be a very good opponent."

"And he's a Retribution Knight, just like you!"

Long Haoyu naturally knew that Yang Wenzhao was a Punishing Knight.

After all, this is the kind of person who can gain the approval of the Throne of God of Doomsday and Slaughter after his father severs the connection with the Throne of God.

Seeing that Long Haoyu remained silent, Ye Hua continued, "Haoyu, are you feeling pressured because you're bound to have to fight him?"

"No, I was just thinking about some other things."

Long Haoyu replied, "Whether he is a top-three candidate in the predicted rankings of the competition or the final number one candidate, once he steps onto the trial field, he will be my opponent, an opponent I must defeat."

"It's good that you have this belief; your teacher believes you can succeed!"

Ye Hua patted Long Haoyu on the shoulder again, his emotions stirred by Long Haoyu's actions.

Her eyes, which had been calm just moments before, now burned with intense passion, as if she had been deeply moved.

"Teacher, we're waiting for you to win first place!"

"Although these words reflect the teacher's long-cherished wish, to let people know that even though the teacher is just a Sky Knight, he can still cultivate top-notch disciples."

"But more importantly, your teacher hopes that you can make a real name for our Bright Moon Branch Hall. This is related to the future status and resource allocation of our Bright Moon Branch Hall, as well as the growth of the remaining knights!"

Long Haoyu understood what Ye Hua meant.

As a member of the Bright Moon Branch Hall and a participant in the Demon Hunter Selection Competition, I naturally want to find ways to ensure that the Bright Moon Branch Hall can gain more benefits.

Although the concept of Haoyue City as a medium-sized city will not change, and there has been no explicit statement about resource allocation, there will definitely be some overlap, which will certainly benefit the Haoyue Branch Palace.

"Teacher, don't worry!"

"From the moment Haochen and I arrived at the Haoyue Branch Hall, we have been knights of the Haoyue Branch Hall!"

"Building a reputation for the Bright Moon Branch Hall is something I absolutely have to do!"

Ye Hua nodded and said, "Then let's go back first. The next matches are all at the fourth level, so watching them won't be of much help to you."

"Why don't you go back to the hotel and meditate to cultivate?"

"it is good!"

Long Haoyu accepted Ye Hua's arrangement.

The four of them walked outside under the watchful eyes of the many knights.

Only after all four had disappeared did the knights turn their attention back to the match on the trial field.

A new round of competition has begun once again.

"Brother Haoyu, are you planning to go back to meditating and cultivating?" Li Xin lazily stretched her limbs and asked repeatedly, "If we're not going back to cultivate, how about we take advantage of this free time to stroll around the Holy City?"

"No, I need to go to the Assassin's Temple to pick up Cai'er. I promised to take her back," Long Haoyu replied.

For the past four days, he has been immersed in cultivation in the shadow space.

But no matter how immersed he was in the shadow space, he didn't neglect picking up Cai'er. He had set a fixed time to wake up from the shadow space these days.

Li Xin suddenly realized: "Oh right, I almost forgot about that. Haoyu, you should go quickly, don't keep Cai'er waiting."

Long Haoyu nodded and headed straight towards the Assassin's Temple.

The holy city was bustling with people coming and going, especially at the entrance to the Assassin's Temple.

Cai'er, dressed in purple, stood there leaning on a green bamboo cane, eagerly waiting.

"Cai'er, have you been waiting long?" Long Haoyu found Cai'er and said in a gentle voice.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Cai'er reflexively replied, "No, I just came out."

"Keep being stubborn!" Long Haoyu laughed. "I've seen you standing here for quite a while now."

While teasing Cai'er, Long Haoyu took the bamboo cane from her hand and gently held her hand.

Cai'er thoroughly enjoyed the moment, letting Long Haoyu hold her hand, and couldn't help but move a little closer to him.

"Let's go, I'll take you home first!" Long Haoyu said.

Cai'er gave a soft "hmm" and followed Long Haoyu back towards the hotel.

The handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many.

secretly.

Ying Suifeng watched Long Haoyu leave with Cai'er, and seeing their perfectly harmonious backs, he couldn't help but look towards Sheng Yue beside him.

"Lord of the Palace, are you planning to stay here and keep watch indefinitely?"

“It seems like this is the time when you're in charge of that place. It's not appropriate for you to be away from there all the time, is it?”

Sheng Yue remained silent, continuing to stare at Long Haoyu and Cai'er, who had already disappeared into the crowd.

Although he couldn't see anything, his gaze never left his face.

“I have my own plans for this matter, you don’t need to remind me.”

Saint Moon answered in a deep voice. At this moment, he had completely calmed his mind, and there was even a lot of solemnity between his brows.

Ying Suifeng noticed this scene and said thoughtfully, "Palace Master, are you thinking about Long Haoyu's spirit furnace?"

“Indeed, Long Haoyu’s spirit furnace is indeed helpful to Cai’er. The fact that it could suppress her before is the best proof.”

"I'm wondering if, based on what this little guy said back then, the backlash that Cai'er is facing can really be resolved."

Saint Moon's voice was deep.

He still remembered what happened a few days ago.

The Six Paths Spirit Furnace seems to be the nemesis of the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace's backlash.

When Cai'er was attacked by the backlash, Long Haoyu used the Six Paths Spirit Furnace, which played a crucial role.
